Look What I Just Got

This one doesn't run right now. This will probably be a project for spring.

I seen a thread on here that said Spring is springing.... So, does it run yet?

Just checking to see if you pulled an all nighter or two on the panzer and just too tired to update us.

Spring comes at different times in different places. May is our spring. It doesn't run yet.

I unloaded it from the trailer, though. It left a little trail of parts on the trailer as I rolled it backwards. This may be more of a project than I had originally thought. The good news is that I got an e-mail response from a parts supplier, and he's going to send me the parts manual for free.

Just kidding with ya!

Are you going to garden with it or do some pulling stuff?

I think in the short term I'll use it to pull around my little dump cart. I'll try mowing with it at least once. I have a cat. 0 3 pt. hitch for a sears garden tractor that I may try to attach to it somehow. I also have the plow and disc for said hitch.

In the end I'll probably sell it off after tinkering and fixing it up. I have no less than 6 lawn/garden type tractors on my place right now. All of them need some level of repair. I have a Toro 266-H that I use for mowing, and anything else that I get running good is sold off. That serves two purposes... I satisfy my irrational desire to buy any small tractor I find, and I keep some cash flow in the tractor budget to satisfy my irrational desire to own every implement that may ever fit my little Massey 1215 SCUT.

I suppose it would help if I actually attached the pictures...

The guy told me that these are popular with tractor pullers because the rear end is from a chrysler.

Wow! That thing's built like a brick s**thouse!

Automotive rear, and a cast front axle just like the old big-iron had!

Nice find!

The grill is cast too. The only sheet metal on the whole thing is the hood.

VERY cool. I have never heard of one of those, love the name too. Congrats on a fun project.

I saw one on the lawn and garden collector website. It sure is gonna be pretty when you get it fixed up. Is the tractor complete, or are there any parts missing?

To my knowledge it's complete. There are a few missing nuts and bolts, but all the parts are there.

I just picked this garden tractor up this morning. I traded an old AC stick welder and a floor jack for it. It's a Pennsylvania Panzer. I'd never heard of them before, but when I looked it up online there's quite a following.

Soooooooweet!
